''Volupté'' is an artwork by Belgian artist Félicien Rops (1833–1898), who was a significant figure in the Symbolist and Decadent movements. The piece, whose title translates to "Voluptuousness" or "Pleasure" in English, encapsulates Rops's fascination with themes of eroticism, death, and the diabolic. Created in the late 19th century, ''Volupté'' is often characterized by its provocative style and the artist's adeptness at etching and aquatint techniques.

Rops's work frequently explored the interplay between the sensual and the macabre, and ''Volupté'' is no exception. The artwork typically features a female figure, which in Rops's iconography often represents the femme fatale archetype—a seductive woman who lures men into dangerous or compromising situations. This aligns with the Symbolist artists' interest in depicting not the objective world, but rather the idea and emotion, often through allusions to mythology, dreams, and visions.

The composition of ''Volupté'' is marked by a meticulous attention to detail and a stark contrast between light and shadow, which serves to heighten the dramatic and sensual effect of the image. The use of symbolism is prevalent, with potential allegorical elements that invite various interpretations related to the nature of temptation, morality, and the human psyche.

As with many of Rops's works, ''Volupté'' may have been controversial at the time of its creation due to its explicit content and the challenging themes it presented. Today, it is considered an important work within Rops's oeuvre and is studied for its contribution to the Symbolist movement and its influence on later artists who grappled with similar themes.

The artwork is part of the broader collection of Rops's graphic works, which are held in various museums and private collections around the world. ''Volupté'' exemplifies the artist's skill in printmaking and his ability to convey complex, often unsettling themes through his art. It remains a subject of interest for scholars of 19th-century art, particularly those examining the intersections of eroticism, gender, and cultural anxieties of the fin de siècle period.
